Location: Knightmares Changing rooms
Throughout the room, encompassed with tables filled with food and drink for all the members of the Knightmares, along with Orb, his friends, and Bendición, almost every person in the room raises a glass with their respective drink and shouts, "WE WON!"
Their screams of victory echo around the room, and the lone dragon sitting on one of their benches with Orb's arm wrapped around his tail turns his head to his right, where he sees Orb asleep, gripping Suzuka's tail as well. Then, looking at Suzuka, who is rubbing her knuckles against her temple, Cyrus says, "Are you o-okay?"
Turning her body with a smile, she says, "I am doing great!"
She moves as if her body is having a spasm before calming down, and Elia, walking up behind her, says, "You're obviously not. Get up, it's time to go."
With eyes that hold nothing but contempt, she faces Elia and says, "Uhh? Did I ask for your opinion?"
"Suzuka, are-en't you being rude?"
Turning her head back to a forward position, Suzuka says, "She is a big meanie to Wadim. So why should I be nice to her?"
Elia turns her head to Wadim, who quickly runs, saying, "I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING SHE READ MY MIND!"
Elia rapidly starts rubbing on a strand of her hair, and says, "Then police your thoughts, scum."
Suzuka tries to stand up, but Orb's grip keeps her down. Looking at Orb with his mouth hanging open with joy, she says, "He really doesn't want to let us go."
Both Cyrus and Suzuka play with his cheeks while smiling, and Orb giggles in reaction to this, though both of them increase the strength in their fingers and start harshly yanking his face from side to side.
Maple, moving over to them, says, "You're going too hard!"
They both quickly release him, and his head continues to bobble from side to side over and over again. Maple, holding Orb cheeks and rubbing them, says, "What was that about?"
Within Suzuka's mind, a flash of all the pranks Orb has played on her repeats. While in Cyrus's mind, all the times Orb has forcibly taken over a task given to Cyrus due to a mistake plays on repeat.
Looking at Maple with eyes hiding their anger, they both say, "No problem."
"I don't believe that. Just don't do that to Orb." Grabbing his red cheeks face, Maple says, "He is a kind, loveably boy, who constantly keeps butting his head into other peoples business, plays never ending pranks to get reactions out of them, always shows me up during every single meeting, never let's me help him with anything even when I am just trying to reduce his workload, and then steals the meat from my food as he tries to make me eat healthier!"
Maple throws up his face right against the ground, and the squishiness of his cheeks bounces his head up and down. Suzuka and Cyrus, seeing this, quickly move to defend him as Maple tries to get closer and says, "That felt really good, just let me do one more and I will stop, I promise!"
Iancu, sitting in a corner watching everyone enjoy themselves, glances over towards the sight of the three arguing over Orb's body, and walking up beside him, Willow says, "Do you want to take a try at it?"
"Are you people really his friends and family?"
"Of course. We all are?"
"I am not a friend of his."
Willow coughs a bit, then says, "So get up, and move past them, use every single cell in that creepy stalker, obsessive, overbearing brain of yours, and move past them Orb, do it right now! And even if you mess up I assure you no more goals are moving past me, they all stop right here! Or I believe you said something like that."
Iancu, grabbing Willow's collar, says, "Forget all of that right now!"
Laughing, Willow says, "Sure, I will, 100% forgotten."
"I don't believe you!"
Iancu throws Willow, and then Cara, walking up beside them both says, "I see, so these are the idiots you have sworn yourself to."
Willow says, "Sworn yourself?"
Iancu picks Cara up, then throws Cara into the large hot spring. Then Willow says, "You really are just like my wife. Does Orb just fine people like you off the street!"
"SHUT UP!"
The words and fuss of everyone in the room grow louder, and as the Knightmares quiet down, Mõõk steps forward and says, "Can I have a moment, everyone?"
The eyes of all the different parties fall onto Mõõk, who says, "I thank my teammates for all the effort they put into getting us this far, those who played in the first match, and those who joined as aid in the second match. As well as the members of Bendición who have stood by us before, during, and after the match, watching our injuries and making sure that they will not have a future effect on our careers. But most of all, I would like to give thanks to you, Ivana Balint, for all the work you did in picking our new lineup. Every single player put their all out there, but without you, we wouldn't have come to such a lineup up and I can do nothing but thank your amazing foresight."
Ivana starts fighting with her hair as if she is about to rip it right out, and says, "Really? No, you're being too kind."
Mõõk takes a few steps toward her, and she backs away in fright and says, "Noooo! Too many people are around, we can't have k-." Elia quickly wraps Ivana's hair around her mouth, stopping the next few words from leaving.
Mõõk, standing in front of Ivana, picks her up and holding her up towards the sky says, "Thank you for everything, I will never forget this moment in my life."
Ivana starts pounding his fists against José's head and says, "This is a dream. This is a dream, right? OH GOD THIS IS A DREAM!"
Elia, standing in her light of sight, puts her hands against her head, replaying the memory of the horror Ivana saw, snapping her back to reality, then she bursts out in tears and jumps around Mõõk, straddling him. She extends her hair and grabs Cara, Pia, Ikaras, Spīdogaisma, Audra and Traucētājs, then shouts, "I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH, EVEN WHEN I AM AN OLD ROTTING WOMAN I WILL KEEP ON SUPPORTING THE KNIGHTMARES!"
She bashes her face into his chest and starts crying as snot runs from her nose. Mõõk stares spooked for a moment, before Avram, standing behind the scene, mouths the words. please.
The Knightmares, coming together for a group hug, wrap their arms around Ivana, and then say, "Thank you."
Ivana's mind quickly releases from her body, and she falls on the floor completely limp like a dead corpse. Avram breaks out in laughter, and Iancu, moving up to her, starts to wake her up while saying, "Have some self-respect."
"I couldn't agree more, though it seems that the poison of Bogdan's truly did take effect over all these years."
With a scowl set to his face, Iancu turns his head and says, "Who the hell said that?"
In front of the door, he sees the three ministers staring at them all, with Stiprais's eyes fixed right onto Ivana with a quiet rage building within his body. Wadim and Gheroghe quickly hide behind Elia, as Stiprais moves his hand over towards Ivana.
Without a moment's delay, Iancu punches towards Stiprais, who easily catches the blow, and says, "Is there a problem, young man?"
"Do not touch my family as they sleep, you got that? I don't care if you're a minister or not?"
A branch from the ground emerges and wacks Iancu away, and as Stiprais reaches for Ivana again, he says, "I could say the same."
Willow, Maple, Suzuka, Iancu, Dumnorix and Cyrus all quickly move over towards him, impeding his movements, and annoyed Vėja says, "WADIM! IS THIS HOW YOU SCUM GREET US!"
Wadim, shaking behind Elia, says, "SORRY, MOM!"
Throughout the room, the bodies of everyone freeze for a moment, and Iancu says, "Mom?"
José sighs, then says, "I know her last name sounded familiar."
The smallest person in the room, Veekeeris, moving over to Gheorghe, kicks the 200cm man standing behind the little girl, and then continues to step on him while saying, "Have you really been that much of a coward that you'd hide behind a little girl!"
"Her presence is so huge I thought it would cloak me."
Elia walks over to Gheorghe, steps on him and says, "Did you just call me fat, you overgrown lizard?"
Iancu turns his face to his father, and, clearing his throat, Avram says, "Let me reintroduce you to everyone. Here we have the three ministers, Stiprais Balint, Veekeeris Dumitrescu, and Vėja Ceaușescu, and facing their individual wraths we have my three workers, Ivana Balint, Gheorghe Dumitrescu, and Wadim Ceaușescu."
A yell breaks through the room at the realisation of the words Avram spoke, which leaves a giant smile on his face that only grows bigger by the second.

Location: Soarele blestemat, Boys' room
Standing in front of a mirror, checking a tie across his neck, Iancu says, "Do I really have to wear this?" He looks down at the extravagant clothes across his body with disdain.
Dumnorix, in a similar outfit, looks to the scowling vampire and says, "We have been invited to a dinner with the ministers. Looking your best is a great way to make a first impression."
Abbán, who has regained a large amount of his size, says, "It's one of the only reasons Dumnorix can even be taken seriously by many despite his erratic actions. And knowing what your father did, it's best to make the best impressions possible."
Iancu, turning his head towards his father, scowls, and Avram says, "Don't make me beat that look out of your eyes!"
"YOU KIDNAPPED THE MINISTER'S CHILDREN!"
"That's an overexaggeration; they came willingly. Isn't that right?"
Wadim and Gheorghe, sitting in the corner with their knees up and their heads buried in between them, let out lifeless sighs.
Willow, walking up to the duo, says, "Still, it's surprising that both of you are actually from prestigious families, given how you act."
Gheorghe says, "So mean!"
Willow, swiping his hand from side to side, says, "I don't mean anything by it, just look at my near feral wife."
Wadim, crying, says, "I DON'T NEED YOU RUBBING IN MY FACE HOW SINGLE I AM SCUM!"
Standing up, Wadim and Gheorghe say, "We can't go to this, they will torture us! WE NEED SOMEONE TO SOAK UP ALL THE ATTENTION!"
They both turn their heads to Orb, who Cyrus is currently restraining. In unison, they run over to Orb and say, "WE NEED TO WAKE HIM!"
With a single tail swipe, Cyrus sends them both flying away and says, "Orb, ne-eeds sleep."
Slamming his fists against the ground, Wadim says, "You choose now to abandon us, you pervert."
Gheorghe says, "I TRUSTED YOU."
The door burst open, and into the room, Maple, Ivana, and Suzuka all walk in dressed to perfection, completely attracting the attention of Gheorghe and Wadim, who fall silent.
Suzuka walks up to Cyrus and says, "Look. Ivana made my hair all curly." She shakes it in front of him, and Cyrus rubs her head.
Iancu looks to Ivana, and she says with a depressed tone, it helped me calm down a bit, but I still feel like death is coming for me."
"It can't be that bad; you three need to grow up."
Ivana, Gheroghe and Wadim all gather around Iancu, say, "IT IS! YOU DON'T KNOW THE DEPTHS THESE PEOPLE WILL REACH TO DESTROY AND SPIT ON YOUR SOUL. THE HORRORS THEY WILL COMMIT EACH AND EVERY MOMENT YOU ARE ALIVE, THEY WILL MAKE YOU HALF THE PERSON YOU WERE BEFORE YOU EVER MET THEM. IT IS TORTURE, IT IS FEAR, I WOULD RATHER JUMP OFF A BUILDING AND FALL TO MY DEATH THAN FACE THEM. SO TODAY WATCH AS WE CHOOSE DEATH!"
They all run towards a window, and Elia, entering the room, says, "Sit down."
The three of them fall to silence as their butts instantly touch against the ground.
